The Cartographers’ Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateurs—all are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.

Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

Lovecraft's Arkham

Hi all, here's a commission i was only too glad to do - a map of H.P. Lovecraft's Arkham, for the Arkham Investigator. Being an established map, which Lovecraft himself created, there wasn't much room for creating things myself, though it was great placing labels like the Miskatonic river and the university buildings this is a very low res version of the final product, which is A3-sized, ready for printing.
